I found a way to escape this. what I did was that I went to my Parse.com dashboard and overrode the value in the password field, since i couldn't view the encrypted value, i just changed it to the same thing. When I log in again I was able to successfully segue into the Inbox view controller but on my output window in XCODE i get invalid session token. Please someone give more insight on why this happened, it's like the string of text for password passed to the BaaS was distorted in the process.
